The Last Guardian is scheduled for release exclusively on PlayStation 4 in the U.S. tomorrow and in the U.K. on Friday. Developed by Sony and genDESIGN, the game was originally announced at E3 2009 for the PS3, before development shifted to the PS4 a few years later amidst various production issues.

Created by Fumito Ueda, who worked on the PS2 classics ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian follows the story of a young boy who is trapped within heavily-fortified walled structure, and must find his way out by overcoming various traps and environmental puzzles. While there, he befriends Trico; a large, benevolent creature that aids him in escaping the castle and fending off its hostile inhabitants.
